Kathmandu, Jun. 18

Stakeholders have suggested developing human resources needed for the insurance and risk management.

Speaking at the second anniversary programme of the Nepal Insurance and Risk Management Association (NIRMA) organised virtually on Friday, they said that with the growth of insurance industry in the country, there is a need for more competent insurers, actuaries, insurance agents and other service providers.

Former chairman of the Insurance Board Nepal Prof. Dr. Fatta Bahadur KC indicated to the need for the advanced training and seminars to enhance the capacity of the manpower in risk assessment.

"Dissemination of information to the common people about the ways to reduce the risk is more crucial. Stakeholders should join their hands in generating awareness. It will ultimately help in the expansion of insurance business," he said.

Chairman of NIRMA Dr. Rabindra Ghimire said that the organisation's major objectives were to conduct study and awareness programmes in risk management, insurance and social security sector.

"We want to collaborate with all relevant stakeholders in this regard," he said.
